A great way for queer folk who are interested in deconstructing and unlearning the intersection of their faith and identity, to return to inclusion, intention and belonging in God’s creation and plan.
Even better read for those who are willing to soften their hearts and minds to understand their call to allyship as a reflection of Christ-like love.

Well written and thought provoking book. Helped me understand in a humble, logical, and biblical way both sides of the LGBT argument. Highly recommended for those wanting to come to their own conclusions instead of just accepting what has been done and said in the past.

As someone who has basically always been LGBTQ+ affirming, this book didn't really give me anything new as it's geared more toward evangelical Christians who are new to this topic. I think it's effective for that target audience - it's more moderate, respectful, and patient which probably works well for conservative Christians who are willing to look at this topic from a different point of view.
I appreciated the examination of the verses commonly used to advocate against inclusion, the author's response to critics of previous editions, as well as a section geared more toward progressives on "how not to argue" against traditionalists.
While this wasn't life-changing for me I can see it being life-changing for readers coming from a conservative evangelical background. If you're already at the point of being LGBTQ+ affirming and wanting to go a bit deeper this probably isn't quite the book for you.

One of the best books I’ve read on the subject of LGBTQ inclusion and acceptance in the church. Well researched and thought-provoking.

I think this is a must read for all Christians.
Frankly, I had to look up words all the time and read carefully. Not the easiest to read at all times - some bits got very academic. But he made his points really well. The intro parts were necessary, but it really got into it at Chapter 8, so stick with it if you’re struggling.
